WTF.I asked to have it paid as overtime then but oh no the manager says "that is not possible,it will be a day in leu" 
This is such BS i thought we could ask to have it as overtime? Nobody is happy with the way reserves are being treated.No union rep in our office either ffs.Great stuff thanks.Have now got link on phone to show them in mornin.I am going to round up all reserves and make sure they are all aware of this.gand wrote:Bank and public holidays
In Royal Mail:
• If you’re not scheduled to work on a Bank holiday, you’ll receive the equivalent number of hours as a
credit to the hours you would have worked.
• If your rest day falls on a Bank holiday, your manager will check if workload allows for you to have
another day off that week.
• If that’s not possible, you can either:
» add the day to your annual holiday entitlement; or
» take the excess hours paid as overtime. This will be paid at the Monday to Saturday overtime rate.
• If you work for Parcelforce Worldwide, ask your manager how Bank holidays are dealt with.
This can be found on the my royal mail Web site for all to see.
You go in and tell him that you want the day of that week if it cannot be done that week you want paid. If he refuses you put a grievance in.

That is what i am doing tomorrow although i have no printer i can show the pdf on my phone.They just cannot be bothered to work the rota fairly so just shafted all the reserves.Bang out of order.olilew wrote:For the last 10 years our manager told us we had to have a lieu day and I personally accrued 11 lieu days in the bank which I could never use. I told him at Easter that I had read on here that we could either get another day off that week or get paid. He claimed to have never heard of it saying "maybe that's just in London". I printed off the relevant piece of legislation and took it in and guess what? "What day would you like off instead?" he says. I quickly told all the other reserves and now he has to find us all alternate days off because he wont pay us for it!
He can't refuse to pay you if that is what you want. The choice is yours not his.olilew wrote:For the last 10 years our manager told us we had to have a lieu day and I personally accrued 11 lieu days in the bank which I could never use.
